Is FanFiction.net down? Error type 2

Is FanFiction.net down on Sunday May 28, 2017? In the past we have seen error type 2 messages and the search function run into problems, although the message to try again in a few minutes doesn’t help when a fix takes many hours to appear. Leave the issues you have today below.

Received an error message last week when uploading and reported it. Didn’t get an email noting the update like I usually do either. Same thing this Monday morning as well. Sent the message off to support again.

  It’s been this way for about 2 weeks now. I’m wondering what’s going on this time and if it will ever get fixed this time. FanFiction doesn’t usually take this long to fix errors and bugs. I posted a final chapter to a story I’ve been working on for almost 3 years and it would be nice if readers could get a notification and actually read it. I feel like I’m in limbo…:)
  - Kim Fletcher
    
    Completely agree. I have had no response to either of my error message emails (not that I was expecting one) and there is no official notification about the issue as far as I can see.

      It’s back up, by the way, as of this morning. I reposted and it is showing it now!

        Thanks for the update!

I updated my story on April 30 2017
The new chapters were posted succesfully. But it wont change the new update date.
It says i last made an update on november. I noticed this because i got a review saying “Even thought its been a long time please update soon”
I was like… But i just updated the story lastnight.

I do remember that when i added the new chapters i got an error message… Didnt think anything because despite that, the chapters were posted.

I can’t load any page from the website at all. It’s bothering me quite a bit, since I’d promised to publish something today
Delaney Sheridan

I’m trying to upload a new chapter in doc manager and it is giving me a blank screen every time I hit submit. Why is that?
William Yamamoto

I can’t access it since the middle of this year, everytime I try trough Safari the Server stops responding.
Jazmin

Its november 2016 and I´ve only had to deal with this for the past 4 days and its already irritating me.

My reviews wont show up but I can at least see them when I get an email notification.

Not only that but to us writers its vital that our stories show up on the archive when we update so as to reach a new audience but its not doing that. My story just keeps getting pushed down further into the depths of the Fanfiction website

I can’t view any more reviews or get the new review notifications. But still i can see the review numbers increasing whenever a new one is posted.
abir

I was happy like any fanfiction writer when I notice that the number of reviews is increasing but when I click on the link to read them, I only find my old reviews. The number changes but I still can’t find them.
Charlie

FanFiction won’t let me see any reviews posted to my story… the marker that tells me how many reviews I’m getting keeps going up and I’m getting email notifications, but it won’t let me see or reply to new reviews.

I’ve been trying to access ff.net throughout the day, but the server isn’t responding and would not load. I also tried switching devices and browsers but the result is still the same.

For me, it’s been four days. For others in Japan, it’s been more than a week – apparently, a lot of people in Japan are unable to access Fanfiction.net AT ALL.
I seriously would like to know if the government – or something else altogether – is blocking our accesses. And I don’t get WHY they would block something as healthy and creative (and economically blessed).
If fanfiction.net could do something about this from their sites, much appreciated…?

  Just want to say that this is true. It’s been like this for me for over 2-3 months now. One day FFN just stopped working, wouldn’t load and got constant timeouts but every checking website says it’s up and accessible.
  
  The amusing thing is, it IS accessible from my workplace, but not from my home or smartphone. IS this limited to Japan or are there others with the same problem. Having searched around it may be a problem with FFN’s DNS servers or something but I have no idea how to fix it.

Fanfiction doesn’t let me login to my account and it’s been going on like this for a week. It Directs me somewhere else and says to login and says I have to be logged in to login.

I read fanfics off this site on chrome on my cell phone. Can read the stories just fine but ever since sometime on May 12th 2016 I haven’t been able to see any new review posts for any stories. Mine or anyone else’s. Stories update fine and I can read those but I can’t see any new reviews that are posted sometime around May 12th 2016 and any day after May 12th 2016. A story I started reading on the day it was posted (posted on May 12th 2016) and by now it says it has 35 reviews (that’s including 2 of my own ) but when I tap on the review thing to read the reviews, it just says “no reviews.” It’s been saying that even on the day the story was posted. Any reviews that are posted by others and myself aren’t there ever since sometime on May 12th 2016. Help!
Ellie

The website isn’t down, but none of my reviews are being posted to my story. does anyone know when this might be fixed? I’ve looked at another websites and saw other people are having this issue as well.
Lewis

Site is down since approx. 6:45am GMT December 15th 2015. Funny how I had reloaded my entire browser around 6:35 and all fanfiction links restored to full status, yet minutes later, trying to change a chapter led to Connection Time Out error.
Fray

Fan fiction Net has been down for around 24 hours for me, is it still down of others?
- Sara
  
  Yes, it is still down. Oh the updates I’m missing ; (
- Fareeha
  
  Yaaa its down.. sice yesday.. desparately waiting fr it to come back
  .. missing reading stories
Anon

I can’t login, the site gives error message. “503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.”
Doesn’t seem to be only my problem either, as the last fanfics published in any fandom and any forums posts made on any forum are timed 14 hours ago. It stands to reason that no-one had been able to log in after that.

Also, I have trouble using filters when searching for fanfiction in any specific category; I get to pick some preferences (for example, character A and B; the rating; sort) , but not all, and eventually it freezes up my whole browser without letting me finish.

  I’ve also been seeing problems with FanFiction and getting errors.
Katrina

fanfiction not working again, NYC. Got up real early too.
Tommy

I resulted to searching google for fanfiction harry potter, twilight, percy jackson, and more to find the articles. In most cases you are taken to the categories with no results showing, so the servers are down again today.
Ben

Once again, the FanFiction updates stop and all categories show no results with different errors. I guess FanFiction is down for the second day, Aug 12. Anyone else go issues pulling up stories?
Llama

No new updates of stories since the 11th for very active fandoms. No bumping to the first page for updated stories. I don’t think the site is quite back to normal yet. I guess I’ll just take a break from it for a day. Maybe talk to people I guess… -_-
Will

Fan fiction seems to be back up as of 8:17 pm eastern US seaboard. Don’t know if it’s the same for anyone else but I’m able to load up stories now.
Kirk

I want to know how to bypass the error type 2?
Roberto

FanFiction website is up but it’s filled with problems, the servers are obviously being worked on but it’s becoming a joke after trying for hours. I cannot view anything, but can access articles when going directly to a known link.
rica

Is the website down cannot load anything
Ben

I keep getting the fanfiction.net error type 2 glitch, also when performing a search it just states “search feature down”. When looking in categories I see another error that states, “No entries found with current filters. Note: M rated entries are not displayed by default. Please expand your filter”.
